- Nature of request
- John de Claveryng states that when he impleaded Aymer de Valence concerning lands in Reydon, Aymer said that he could not answer without the King, producing a charter which attested that Henry III gave the manor to William de Valence and Joan his wife and the heirs of their bodies, and that it came into the King's hand as an escheat. John sued a writ to the Treasurer and Chamberlains to search the rolls of the Exchequer for evidence as to how the lands came into the King's hand, but they replied that as the writ did not specify a date or before which justices, they did not know which records to search. John requests a remedy, that the writs might be emended so that the rolls and remembrances of Henry III can more fully be searched, and that the justices might be informed, so that they might more fully have a warrant to do justice to the parties.

- The writs are to be corrected in due form, and a sicut alias is to be sent, and they are to inform the justices etc.
